Lint not detecting project errors, although they are marked.


I was recently going over the CustomView tutorial on developers.android.com, and while I was adapting the code to my own project, I noticed that although the errors were marked, line-by-line in the class editor, they were going entirely undetected by lint.

So far, I've tried this & an article that suggested I simply "Save Perspective As..." and restart Eclipse.

I imagine this is an easy-to-fix problem, that I may have unknowingly caused, myself... Because errors in other projects show up in Lint just fine.

Perhaps I need to find the lint.xml as described in this question-?- Any idea where that may be?


Solution

  • After fiddling with this for quite some time, it would appear that the solution came from one of the following two things, if not both.

    $ sudo chown me /myproject/

    How I lost the ownership in the first place, I may never know.

    And I also re-enabled "Java Builders" under the Builder property for the project. This is a solution for some problems, but not in this case. Now everything is back to normal.
